To App or Not to App? Program Engagement & Tracking
(November 5, 2021 presentation) In the session, attendees will participate in a decision tree exercise, a case study of a client that successfully navigated this decision, and tools to determine the next steps including solutions that could be pursued when launching an app is not the answer. Participants will be given a checklist for them to assess their own program needs to determine if they need an app or not, and a digital sandbox environment where they can design a mockup of an app on their phone or computer and see examples of similar apps and user-generated data.
Metrics Matter – Utilizing Research to Drive Programming
(November 3, 2021 presentation) Research is tantamount to effective advocacy and impactful programming. In order to maintain program effectiveness, organizations must evolve with the needs of those they serve, and that is impossible if they do not know what those current needs are. Data collection, dissemination, and research are imperative to ensuring that organizational efforts are being targeted where needed. Non-profit leaders need to identify trends in order to surface any gaps and inconsistencies in their programming to prevent diminishing returns on their investment into the communities they serve.
